Known Issues (Read me!)
- Some resolutions make the pixel art/transitions look funny, I recommend playing on 1920×1080 if possible!
- Selectors “[]” sometimes disappearing when moving around the UI.
- Level “1-9” (Semi-Solid) new mechanics aren't explained correctly, as I forgot to add the level before it. (They flip your available directions), this will be fixed on release!
- Level “1-5” (Blockage) looks like it is completed, but you've actually failed it. Try holding “Highlight win areas” and you'll see.
I've found a bug!
Oops. Please reach out to me via the comments, Discord, Twitter, anywhere works!
How many endings are there?
As per this demo, none! When the game's finished, though… :)
How many worlds/content is there?
There's a total of 3 hub worlds plus tons of secrets.
Right now, this demo only has World 1 as playable, without some secrets. Which is about 20% of the entire game.
How do I play the extra levels? (Spoilers)
To access extra levels, you have to do exactly the opposite of what you're doing. Leaving nothing behind.
Solution?
All you need to do is push all the boxes of a level into the “red areas”, without any extra boxes not being overlapping one. Basically, everything must be overlapping a “red area”.
Need some extra help or want to talk about the game with others? There's a Discord Server! (Feedback is very much appreciated)
